The $y$ -intercept is at $(0, 6)$ .

$4x - 3y = -18$

To find the $y$ -intercept, plug in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ :
$4(0) - 3y = -18$

$0 - 3y = -18$

$-3y = -18$

Divide both sides by $color(blue)(-3)$ :
$(-3y)/color(blue)(-3) = (-18)/color(blue)(-3)$

$y = 6$

Therefore, the $y$ -intercept is at $(0, 6)$ .

Hope this helps!
